Finally! You can keep yer leaders from gettin’ all twisty!

Two years ago, same time of year, water temperature was 60-62.

By same time of year do you mean August? Thanks just wondering if it’s worth a trip. Was up in the Kamloops area 2nd week of July this summer. Lakes at 4600’ were getting over 70!

 

[troutpocket]

@LBL yes, same week in August. Part of the equation is how far north you go. We’re going to be fishing lakes ~250 miles north of the border and 4000-5500’ elevation.

Just finished up five full days of fishing at Rock Island Fishing Camp with @Yardus @troutpocket and @Irafly. The camp consists of a main lodge, several cabins, ice shack, smoker and outbuildings. It is off the grid with no cell service and rustic overall but with nice services like heated showers and a comfortable dining area full of fishing lore.

It is the epitome of a perfect fishing camp and is run by great hosts James, Cathy and Genie. We were super impressed by the meals served, the professionalism and the knowledge shared by the hosts. I would highly recommend...
